Panthera & Tri-Zone Pinball Shenanigans!
Panthera & Tri-Zone Pinball Shenanigans!
In this video, I'm working on two classic pinball machines—Panthera and Tri-Zone—to get them back into playing condition. From tracking down electrical issues to repairing, and testing, I'll show you the process of bringing these games back to life. Whether you're into pinball restoration, repairing old arcade machines, or just enjoy seeing classic games saved, I hope you'll enjoy following along with the project. Not every repair goes as planned, but that's all part of the fun! Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments if you've ever worked on a Panthera or Tri-Zone—or if you have any tips or stories to share!
Kineticist’s take
Mike Dust repairs Tri-Zone and Panthera classic machines, fixing battery/switch issues and soundboard diodes.
Synopsis
Mike Dust documents restoration work on two classic pinball machines: Tri-Zone and Panthera. Tri Zone-Zone, he replaces a battery to fix credit persistence issues, secures loose pop bumper screws, and adjusts drop target switches. Panthera, he installs repaired diodes on the soundboard and troubleshoots fuse issues, ultimately discovering electrical problems preventing sound output. Both machines require further diagnosis and repair.
